Hall has time for video proposal
By BOB SCHAAD Staff Reporter
The McColm Hall senate has until the end of the semester to submit a proposal for use of about $18,000 in unused housing. Wilson director of housing said yesterday.
Wilson said he would allow the McColum senate time to submit a proposal because they were the first group to inquire about it.
However, Dan Rohrbach, McColm senate member and chairman of a committee studying possible uses of the committee's no proposal would be submitted just soon.
He said the committee would ask Wilson to allow next year's hall government to study the project.
The equipment was purchased in 1974 by the housing department for a communications center at McCollum.
WILSON SAID the center was to be used by hall residents to improve speech skills and give them a chance to work with video
equipment. A graduate student was hired to run the center and monitor equipment use
Wilson developed the communications center idea after the hall senate indicated that residents favored such an idea. Later, the senate adopted the rule that residents caused the idea to be abagged.
Wilson said he had no idea what to do with the equipment until he heard from the McColum committee.
The housing department would be able to use the equipment for training new employees, he said.
He said several persons had contacted him about using the equipment, but most of the interested persons wanted only to be until a final decision was made on its use.
THE CHANCES of anyone borrowing the equipment are "pretty slim," Wilson said.
"There have been several people calling," he said, "but I don't think there have been any significant happenings."
He said he was placing no pressure on the group to submit a proposal because he was in no rush to get rid of the equipment.
Robback said that the term of the current hall government was about to expire and that there was not enough time for the senate to fully study the project.
He said he would like to submit a limited, low-cost proposal to Wilson.
"We'd certainly like to submit something," Rohrback said, "but we would try to avoid any with a surcharge."
He was referring to a $6 surcharge added to residents' contracts in 1974-75, when McColllum was used as a communications center.
The equipment was placed in storage, where it has been for six years.
The equipment includes cameras, videotape recorders, playback mopitors, cables and support equipment.

Discrimination, sexual tension on the job and the role of minorities in city government were the topics of a panel discussion attended by some 400 attendees in the Kansas Union yesterday.
Staff Reporter
City government topic of panel
The conference, which attracted city administrators from across the nation, was organized in conjunction with the KU administration program. The conference ends today.
Among the eight panelists in the forum was Sherry Suttles, the first black female city manager in the United States.
Suttles, city manager of Oberlin, Ohio, and the other panelists discussed the sexual discrimination they encountered in their jobs.
"Many people wondered, 'Are you the bitch-type who'll alienate everyone?'" Suttles said of her first experience in city government. "You can't come across as
the man-hater and crack the whip over everyone."
BARABA VERNON, doctor of Administration in Prairie Village, said, she had noticed a decline in sexual discrimination over the past 20 years.
Although all panelists acknowledged a liberalization in society's sexual attitudes, they stressed that problems still existed.
"When I graduated from school in 1957, I was unemployed and I lost my job to school 20 years later, the world had really changed. I didn't experience the resistance I had an experience with."
Would say there is a great deal of sexual tension. Suttee says, explaining the reasons why she was accused of victims of their innocuenses and rumors because of their cloak working relation-
SUTTLES SAID sexual harassment
was not unheard of in her profession but she had not personally encountered it.
"It is important to be able to deal with some of the tensions and fears among men and women at work," said Jan Porkins, a Community Development in Adrian, Mich.
Jealousies among spouses often result from men and women traveling together to conferences, Perkins said, and added that jealousy can undermine communication usually solves such problems.
Robert Long, chairman of Oberlin's City Council, complained of a lack of dedication to affirmative action hiring policies among city administrators.
"Affirmative action has been bureaucratized." Long said. "They (city administrators) go through the motions and then they hire white males."
All panelists encouraged women and minorities not to give up when they encountered discrimination.
